Piccadilly Shave Products

By mantic59
The Piccadilly Shaving Company is a new wet shaving brand cut from the same cloth as the established British shaving brands. *I got a chance to try their flagship shaving cream along with a few other of their products, all sandalwood scented.Shave Cream

The Piccadilly shave cream I tried is noticeably “creamier” and more dense in the tub than other British shave creams. *In fact it was easy for me to pick up too much product with just one twist of the shave brush. *A quick dip in the tub was all I needed to cover the brush’s bristles. *It lathered easily and quite luxuriously, even in my “hard” water. *The scent is distinct but not particularly long-lasting. *Even though it’s labeled as “sandalwood” the scent is a little more complex than that. *From their website:Fragrance Notes: Top notes of rosemary, amber, geranium, lavender, & lavender. Middle Notes of orange blossom, carnation, & fern. Base Notes sandalwood, rock rose, patchouli, vetivert, & musk.
My notoriously poor sense of smell picked up the “woody” scents but not so much of the citrus or floral scents. *YMMV.
I found the performance top-notch, definitely competitive with the other high-end British products. *This cream made my “best” shaving cream list recently!Ingredients: Aqua, Stearic Acid, Myristic Acid, Postassium Hydroxide, Coconut Fatty Acid, Glycerin, Parfum, Triethanolamine, Sodium Hydroxide, Benzyl Alcohol, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, (Parfum Contains: Benzyl Cinnamate, Benzyl Salicylate. Citronellol, Coumarin, Eugenol, Geraniol, Linalool, Evernia Furfuracea, Evernia Prunastri Extract, Limonene)Aftershave
